Two photos today - of The Afghan. The close-up is a alittle too yellow, but does show the pattern.

There was a news item on NBC Nightly News tonight about Dr. Michael DeBakey. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. In case this name doesn't mean anything to you, this incredible 99-year old heart surgeon was the pioneer of all the heart surgery that is now carried out in this country.
He is the son of Lebanese immigrants. His parents took him to the library and told him he could read anything he wanted. What he found to read was the Encyclopedia Britannica. And when the library wouldn't let him check it out, his parents bought a set for the home. And he read the WHOLE thing!
And he was a good friend of my parents!
